celestial and terrestrial" Judge Ryan

celestial and terrestrial, Judge Ryan
| says:
Taking the sun andmoon according
to the common acceptation and follow
| ing HobaTts metaphor, the Circuit
| Judge might be likened to the sun of
| his court, IN this ga use. and MIR. Cole
| (the lawyer who tried the case) to the
moon. after the fashion of a iuridicai
| depute in Scots law, shining with del
egated jurisdiction. But the constitu-
| ton mars the comparison. For by the
| astronomical constitution the sun
| appears to take power to delegate
| his functions of lighting the world,
| while the State Constitution tolerates
| no such delegation and appoints sun
| only, without any moon, as lUminary
! of the Circuit Court, whose 'gladsome
| light of Jurisprudence must be sun
| shine, not mOOnShlne."
| 1t is not very often that lawyer gets
| a chance 10 express his opinion of a
Judge, but young Western attorney
| came pretty near it when on being
fined SO for contempt Of court he said;
THE fine Is too small; make it a
| million"
4 somewhat similar story is told of
! Tom Corwin. who, being somewhat
disgusted with certain Judges ruling
in case on trial, asked to be fined
for contempt Of court, You have
| expressed no contempt OF court,
siT, said the Judge But / have the
most Internal contempt for it, replied
| Corwin
This was nearly equaled by another
| barrister, who, also being fined for
| contempt, declared he had expressed no
| contempt, but on the contrary had
carefully concealed his feelings.
| When John Randolph was Attorney
| General and in the hight of his fame,
lie was on one of his trips to Washing
ton waiting impatientiy for the public
| conveyance, pacing nervously up and
| down, when he became furiously an
nOyed by the shrill whistling of man
in charge of the station. Randolph
walked directly in front Of him and said
IN his severest manner, Stop that
whistling, sir"
| "Why?"
Because | command it."
And who are you, pray?"
I'm john Randolph of Roanoke,
| SIR.
''WeIl, who the devil is John Ran
doIph of Roanoke, sir?' was the
question that stunned the lawyer COM
plotely.
